Abstract
This paper presents the development process of a semantic differential scale, to support the UX evaluation with home appliances, specifically, generating a database of Portuguese adjectives related to the interaction with home appliances. We performed a survey with three fonts: users and designers perception about home appliances usage; perception from researchers on home appliance UX, towards efficiency; and marketing search, examining disclosure materials of a home appliance manufacturer. Then, we performed a data analysis from hierarchies, binary matrix of correlation and antonyms generation. After the method application, the research resulted in 20 adjectives, which can assist the UX evaluation with home appliances.
